Questions & Ideas

The diplomacy Ai is good. If their populace does not like you and they think they can beat you in a war, they will not accept things.

I havent heard them ever asking for that much money, this is the first case. Screenshot please.

The highest I've seen them ask is 600 or so.

If you ask for trade from Denmark as Britain on turn 1, it will cost you 150 gold.

This is how much it is.

France, for example, I just requested peace, bearing in mind a shot hasn't been fired, etc.

I first did 10,000 state gift.

Then I offered 100,000 gold , A ton of technology (I am almost full tech, everyone else is at max, 50%) just for a simple peace. (Even though I can easily if needed, build an army and just conquer them)

They said no. Why? It isn't realistic for them to decline. They are basically bankrupt, everyone ganking them, and they refuse a very good offer like that.

Everything else is just the same, they only accept when it's either too good not to pass up and even then, they can still pass.


In the end of RTI when you play as USA, the game tells you "It might be an idea to buy provinces from some of the factions in the area", Florida alone costed 80,000 till they accepted.


There are also bugs to do with diplomacy. The nations don't accept government type changes in the calculations. So for example, the Netherlands, say "different government type -25" even though my Russia is a republic and the Netherlands is a Republic.

I can send you my game files, if that is possible.

a 70mb save file isnt really something i should be downloading for another few days.

But yes, I should be able to change the diplomacy stuff. Not until mod tools.

I could start hex editing ships etc. If there was interest.

I have collected some information about 16th, 17th and 18th century infantry tactics and organization of battle lines in these periods. - If there is an interest I could contribute these here with references so modders can have easily access to. While VEM is not laid out as a "historical" mod project, the informations may still be of some use in relation to the modification of some of the stats.

[pevergreen]

Yup, stat rebalances and possibly uniform modifications are definately planned.

Feel free to start a new thread.

When do you intend to start work? When modding tools are released?

[pevergreen]

ASAP after modding tools are released.
